| I'd like to start the New Year by sharing a piece I made a few months ago, but never got a chance to post. This piece is actually hanging in my house as a piece of art. | |
|
| |
| I absolutely love it, and what a surprise. I actually started out copying the piece below by Linda Elbourne. | |
|
| |
| Similar, but yet so different. It always amazes me how I start copying a piece I fall in love with, and it turns out so different. But I love the new piece just as much. That's the great thing about this craft. People are always willing to share their work to inspire those of us with less artistic skills. Yes, it is true. I am not artistic by nature. But, I do have some great copying skills. | |
| If you love "Wendy Art," do yourself a favor and check out Linda's blog, "A Crafting Journey." She is very creative and does some beautiful work. (Fans of Tim Holtz will be very pleased with her blog as well.) She just posted the cutest Valentine piece that hangs on a hanger. It may have to be my first project of the year. Check out her post titled "You can feel it in your fingers ..." Adorable! | |

Making "Wendy Vecchi" Art
| Making "Wendy Art" is good for the soul. Just look at these pieces inspired by Wendy and made using her Studio 490 Stamps, Maya Road's Chipboard, Tim Holtz' Grunge Paper, and Ranger's Distress Inks. Real medicine for the heart. | |

| I am so in love with Wendy's stamps and style. I already have all 21 of her stamp sets, and I can't wait for her new idea book to come out. I hope that you will all give it a try. It is really alot of fun to make, and so rewarding. The finished products are amazing. | |

Wendy Vecchi @ Stamp Fest
| WOW!!! That's the best description I can give you of Stamp Fest in Orlando. Stamps, stamps, and more stamps. It was a blast! But, for me, the most exciting part was meeting Wendi Vecchi of Studio 490. She is so amazing! | |
| I have to admit, I kind of resembled a stalker. The poor thing couldn't get away from me. I hung around her booth all day Saturday, took her class on Saturday night, and then kidnapped her for dinner after class. (The poor thing didn't know what she was in for--I had Linda Greiner with me. LOL!) Then, Sunday was worse. I never left her booth. I dropped quite a load of cash there though, including 5 of her stamp sets--totally awesome. BTW - I wasn't the only stalker. There was a really cute mother and daughter team that was there quite a bit too. | |
| So, enough about my stalking abilities. I want to show you a little of her work. Here are some samples I've picked up from Studio 490: | |
| Now, drum roll please, you get to take a peek at my first attempt to make some "Wendy Art." I made this at my crop this past weekend. It was soooo... much fun to do. Everyone at the crop wanted to make one. | |
| So, what do you think? I love it! I love it! I love it! I am sooo hooked. I'm telling you, if you have not seen Wendy's work, check out her blog, buy her stamps, and get ready to have some fun. You will be glad you did. Her work is amazing. | |
| Yikes, I almost forgot the best part. Wendy is revealing 7 new stamp sets tomorrow morning at 7am. So, make sure to check out her blog in the morning. You can bet I will be. :-) | |
| Wendy, I hope I didn't make you too crazy. It was so nice to meet you. I had such a great weekend. I hope that we will meet up again in the near future. And again, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your artwork, and giving us the tools necessary to make projects like yours on our own. You are the best! MWAH!!! | |
